According to reports, inmates at the prison have engaged themselves in farming activities, including the planting of beans, cassava, and plantain and vegetable crops.
As a result of their agricultural involvement, the inmates have named the lack of working tools, seeds and fertilizers as major challenges facing the implementation of the project.
The prisoners have however called on the Government of Liberia through the County leadership and the Ministry of Agriculture to kindly intervene by providing them with farming tools.
Meanwhile, the Deputy Prison Superintendent of the Voinjama Prison, Moses Saah has disclosed the lack of water system, over crowdedness, poor medical services and lack of training center for inmates at the prison.
Superintendent Saah told a joint security meeting in the County that there are currently seventy-five inmates at the Voinjama prison of which thirty-one are detainees and forty-four have been sentenced.
Out of this number, Superintendent Moses Saah said there are six Guineans and one Sierra Leonean with no female.
